Susan,
From what I can tell ya that the family left Virginia in the late 1790 or early 1820's. They went off in two's. going west. Going to Ky. Al. In. and Tn. My best thinking that the family in Tn. were from the one's that went to Al.
WHY? Where they were in Al. is just south of Tn. state line.
That would be Abner and Hector Atkinson-Atkisson-Attkisson.
I have gone to the reunion in. Tn. several years ago. Got nowhere with Tn. Attkisson's. I felt like they think the ship landed on the shores of Tn. where they all got off. I have found our surname spelled several different way, even dates and where they were born were wrong. You must have an open mind and make notes on things that ya might not think mean anything to ya now but may come into play later. I have all my notes back to 1978 when I started my research.
I can send my file on Attkisson if ya e-mail me at [email protected]
